Question About Submitting Samples

Recommended Posts

Hello, I am writing an article in which I am showing users where they can submit malware and false positives.

I have found an online submission form which users can use to submit these to you, but so far I have found no email address for submitting suspicious files and false positives. Do these exist and if so what are they? Thanks.

Hi Chiron. Potential malware or false positive can be submitted to our support team at support@immunet.com. Include the file/program in a .zip and give us a brief description of what you are submitting and why. Thanks.

Thank you. At this point I know how to submit malware to Immunet, but what I would like to know is whether the samples I submit to Immunet will also be added to the database for ClamAV.

The article I'm working on will ask users to submit the suspicious samples (or false positives) to both Immunet or ClamAV. Thus I need to make sure that there aren't separate reporting practices for each one.

For example for submitting suspicious files to Immunet I have found this page:

Once upon a time these were two different groups processing malware, but now it's all being processed by one. I've got some emails to the administrator asking what's going on with submit@samples.immunet.com. I'd suggest using the ClamAV link: http://www.clamav.net/lang/en/sendvirus/submit-malware/ as you'll get better notification of when the Clam databases are updated.
